Althea is so good with my curly hair! Stylists will claim they do curly cuts, but Althea is the real deal. She understands weight, volume and shaping - and adds style. That is tough to get all in one stylist! Trust me, look no further. A+ in a friendly salon. read more

I needed a trim and was fit into the schedule that day. Rebecca cut and styled my hair. She was very knowledgeable and talked me out of a cut I would regret, after talking to me about my hair. She did a great job and I received multiple compliments. Very friendly and responsive. read more

Rebecca gave me a great cut, relaxing environment. An outstanding local business. Thanks! read more

I hate to leave a bad review, but I made the decision to try this place based on reviews and I really regret it. I had a haircut with Rebecca and just want to share that she is NOT good with wavy/curly hair! I went in with long flowing locks, and left with an ugly mushroom shaped bob! The layers are super short choppy and blunt, disconnected from the rest of the hair. She did not work with my wave pattern at all, so there are weird pieces sticking out all over. She curled it after the cut and it was so bad, like a high schooler had done it. To top it off, she was very negative and gossiped the whole appointment, sharing way too much personal info that was uncomfortable and draining for me. I'm so sad, and miss my beautiful hair, but hopefully this review will help someone else read more

I'd made an appointment with CAS--who had a quick response time, btw--hoping to see someone who knew wavy hair, having had wonderful prior experiences. My expectations were exceeded by Rebecca, who was super friendly as well as attentive. I forget to give my stylists warning about my thick hair, but she gave me and my hair her full attention. She ended up curling my hair after my trim, which, before today, I don't think I've ever seen in my hair because it can be an undertaking. Her vibe was so friendly and personal, even though I tend to be an introverted client. Again, Rebecca knows wavy hair and provides amazing service. Thanks, girlie read more

Great stylists! So professional and friendly. I highly recommend this sale n to anyone that's look for a real great hair got and of color.

LOVE this salon!!! The ladies here do AMAZING work. Super accommodating, great hospitality, and great location. Dana dyed my hair blue, and then back to brown after many months, thought it was going to be complicated, but she had it done effortlessly! Highly highly recommended :) read more

Melissa has been dying my hair blonde for years now and she is AMAZING. Not only is she great with hair, but her company, professionalism, and flexibility is what keeps me coming back! I've referred her to many of my friends and mom and we have only great things to say about her. 100% would recommend her to anyone looking to get their hair dyed or cut! read more

I've been following Dana for a couple years now. She managed to turn my box colored black and gray hair into a beautiful blonde and I haven't looked back! The new salon is gorgeous with a beautiful design and the shampoo area is sent from above...there is a headrest! Who knew that was a thing? All this time I thought I was destined to leave the salon with a neck ache, but I was able to relax and almost fell asleep with my head in the sink today! I continue to drive all the way from San Jose every 8 weeks for Dana to do her color magic on my hair and it's worth every mile. read more

I got my hair colored by Rebecca and I am blown away by the results. I didn't bleach my hair, which definitely affected the colors, but I'm in love with my fun colors hairstyle! read more

Rebecca REALLY knows her business! I described to her exactly what I wanted; what went wrong with previous haircuts and she really listened to me. I needed a style, I needed color but we were able to keep my own platinum white on top and do a revere ombre with the most gorgeous almost black brown on the bottom. I wanted a shag cut, which she accomplished in NO time! Additionally when I called and left a message she called me RIGHT back and apologized for not picking up right away! Who DOES that nowadays?! You are lucky to get a call back within a week! Plus, she is FUN! Upbeat, positive person1. I love my hair! Yay! read more

I was camping in Big Basin and had a date night planned with my husband in Capitola -- the short hair I've been growing out needed a trim at the back, things were getting too whispy and hectic! Plus it would've been a mullet if it didn't get handled & that's not what I've been going for. They took me as a walk-in and happened to be able to fit me in, offered me a bevie as they do for everyone and got to trimming! Dana took care of me -- she listened to me, followed through, double checked that I was happy with it at the end and sent me on my way with a smile! Thank you all for helping me out today! read more

Amy cut my hair today and it might just be my favorite hair cut ever! She's super pleasant, really listened to what I wanted, and took the time to get it just right. I have thick course hair so it's hard to find stylists that understand how cut it but she did an amazing job. read more

I experienced a true beauty experience by Karissa Jordan and her sister, Dana( who is the owner) at this beautiful new salon! They worked as a team on my hair which has been maintained by only ME in the past so it really needed a professional touch. Karissa spent the time my hair needed and did a fabulous corrective color and haircut and my hair has NEVER looked this great! I highly recommend this salon and Karissa and Dana are amazing though I haven't met the other stylists but I heard they are also great. The salon has a great vibe and offers free wine or beer with your haircut. read more
